I have several Windows 2000 computers still out there. I want to connect to them using remote desktop on WinXP workstation. I installed the RDP on the 2000 computer, but I want to be able to connect to the 2000 machines and not to conntect to XP machines.

I need all the help I can get. Thanks

You can't connect a Windows 2000 machine using XP RemoteDesktop ....

You'll have to install a ThirdParty software if you want to connect and administer those machines.

Ex: PcAnnyWhere / VNC ...

btw, there is a lot of this kind of tools for free on the Internet.

Can i access a win2000 professional (rdp client installed) using windows 2000(rdp client installed)/2003 server ?

RDP Client will only allow you to connect to a SERVER or to an XP (or vista) machine which has a server component to it.

windows 2000 professional workstation did not have any remote desktop **inbound** ability. In Windows XP you can see the option by Right Clicking My Computer -> Properties -> Remote

I guess we can install RDP client in a windows 2k machine and access any win XP/2k svr/2003 svr, but not vice versa right?
